APIT - MME Blackbird - part 1

Hello Peeps! Thanks to A Page In Time, I've been able to play with this beautiful kit from My Mind's Eye this month:
Bonjour les Scropines! Grace à A Page In Time, j'ai pu scrapper le joli kit de My Mind's Eye:

I started by knowing I wanted all of my pictures to be gathered together so once I knew approximately where they'd be going, I sprayed some Tsukineko Walnut Ink ( Willow ) in that spot for two reasons: to anchor my pictures and deepen the background color which was a pale yellow. The second step was printed the text, my Epson Stylus Photo R1900 is very whimsical so that step is never a given. Third step: adhering the pictures. Fourth: placing the title which I made using foam, Quickutz Chemistry + The Revolution. Fifth and last: placing the chipboards and embellishments.

What was important to me with this page was:
to play with interconnecting lines and give a sense of warmth.
The interconnection of lines is translated not only by the lines on the pictures ( roots, branches...) but also by the big chipboard ( all the way at the bottom of the page ) the printed pictures on the piece of ledger paper and the connection between the various pictures.
The warmth is created by keeping all colors neutral and light while composing visual triangle with one dominant warm color, in that case: chocolate brown.

I really need to listen to you more often. I love your style of scrapbooking and each and everytime you post a page it really really makes me want to pull out my own supplies for it. Except then I'm kind of scared to show them on my blog...Such a beautiful page.
